“The artist must forget the audience,
forget the critics, forget the technique, forget everything but love for the music.
Then, the music speaks through the performance,
and the performer and the listener will walk together
with the soul of the composer, and with
God.”
― Mstislav Rostropovich

“But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”
― Daphne du Maurier

“The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity.”
― Thomas Carlyle

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.”
― Maya Angelou
